“TWILIGHT” mania has made each of the four Stephenie Meyer books about a romance between an accident-prone teenager, Bella, and a dazzlingly handsome vampire named Edward into a best seller; created heartthrobs out of the little-known actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who starred in the first movie in the series; and made the second movie, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” perhaps the most anticipated film of the fall season among tweens and Hollywood moguls alike. It has also turned Forks, Wash., a two-stoplight town on the western end of the Olympic Peninsula that Mrs. Meyer used as the setting for her books, into an unlikely tourist hot spot. Over the last year or so, Forks (population 3,120) has morphed into a mecca for Twilighters, or Twihards as they are sometimes called. Visitors to this rainy town, whose main industries are logging and two correctional facilities, have more than tripled for the first eight months of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to the local Chamber of Commerce. Lodging occupancy is up, and local merchants sell little-vampire pacifiers and Bella and Edward action figures.

There are various types of useful operands that can be used in Google: Using quotations marks : By using quotation marks, we tell the search engine that we ant the words to appear in the exact same way and order as we typed them. Without quotation marks, it will also appear results containing the words but not necessarily in order.
Example: “death of john lennon”
